Try to remember.....

[marauder_77868]

We're all focused on the hurricane...as well we should be. We're worried about our fish, other pets, loved ones, and property. But do try to stop sometime today and remember. Seven years ago we were attacked. Remember those who died so that their sacrifices shall not be in vain. Try to remember...
...that thousands of people died on that day.
...that those who want to kill us don't want to kill just those thousands, but all of us.
...that they want to kill us not because of specific things that we've done, but because of our way of life, our culture.
...that they are still trying to kill us, and, but for our vigilance, would continue to do so.
...that we are a nation at war.
...that our soldiers abroad are fighting there so that we don't have to fight here.
...that we live on the greatest nation on earth.

Amen to that Charles! I think a lot of people in this country would do well to think about what you wrote and think of all of the consequences just giving up the fight would bring about! I will never forget! Thanks so much for the reminder! God bless our troops and God bless America!

Hrm....
Every time I hear the word culture, I wonder if whoever said it is growing worms for their fish...
(as I sit here searching on how to grow calci-worms (aka phoenix worms, soldier grubs) for my fire-belly toads)

I will never forget that time - watching those buildings (that I've been inside of more times than I can count) just crumble to the ground - first in disbelief, thinking this CAN'T be real - it has to be some horrible movie or something, then in sick horror as I saw people jumping out of windows, and finally in absolute fury as the reality set in, wondering and hoping that my relatives that lived and worked there in NYC were safe, and being so thankful my cousin had a Dr. appt that day and was safely far away from the towers (he worked in a building next to them).  

Regardless of what anyone else believes in and whether or not anyone thinks we should or shouldn't be at war, the reality of it is that we ARE at war, and I ask MY God to bless those who are putting or have put their lives on the line that we may have the liberties we do, and to help heal those who have suffered losses in both this fight, and in the attack we endured 7 years ago.  Freedom of religion is one of the things they're fighting for that so many of us take for granted as a "Right".  As a nation of Unity, I hope everyone can pray to whatever God they choose, to watch over and protect those who have been called to duty, and to give their families and all those who have suffered through the attack, the strength, will and courage to let it teach us to be a stronger, closer and more unified nation.  

And God, If you're reading this, could you please um, squash that Ike hurricane thing out there?  It has already made a mess of my week and caused a whole bunch of people a lot of trouble.....

I have been watching this for 6 years now...occasionally, and every 9/11.

Wow, that's so....  I can't think of an appropriate word for it.  

I've never seen that site - thanks for posting it.  
Even though it caused a large lump it put in my throat.
